Robot mowers

Fed ex got it to me yesterday 2 days after it was first scheduled to be delivered. I didnt have time to set up the RTK and do maps for auto mowing but I did fire it for a test run. You can drive it and mow with your phone as a controller.

It mowed the steepest hill I have at a measured 46% with ease. The grass was also 1ft+(because it’s such a pain to weedeat) so it will do it even easier now that is knocked back and can be maintained. Hill is probably 35 ft top to bottom. Was able to mow both up and down and sideways. Haven’t decided which way is better yet.

If I could load straight to tbn I would. Here is a picture. Not the bigger hill I was talking about, haven’t had time to map that yet. I mapped the perimeter of this small are then set it off it went around everything else on its own. Super cool. The part by the gate in top right is too steep for a riding mower to cut.

It’s out mowing in the dark right now. Pretty amazing.

In your picture, I just realized that it could get under all the branches that are so hard to do when on a riding mower.

I think one is in my future, I'm just going to wait and see how much better they get, and if they come down in price.

For videos, I have to post them on YouTube, then copy the link and paste that on here. It's a few more steps, but not too bad.

Is this the Lymow unit?

How are these things mowing over rough terrain?

Looks pretty good. I saw they just started shipping some of them. Can't determine if/how they can be programmed to go in and around the blueberry, blackberry, garden rows.

We used to have the indoor vacuum ones. They had bumpers and feelers to find obstacles. They alter course a little and figure their way around. Higher end models would 'remember' where the obstacles were to make the future runs more efficient.

Someone asked about rough terrain...since they are much smaller than a typical mower, they likely do a much better job than any mower. You could do better with a weed wacker, but why bother? If 'rough' means large rocks or roots, it would see them as obstacles and go around.

You could do better with a weed wacker, but why bother?

And I've been wondering why there isn't a robomower I've found that is based on multiple string trimmers. Maybe 3 heavy duty string trimmers under a deck. Has anyone seen one?

And I bought it with an extra battery.

And its on sale for $2200 last day today.
